come,
at least get somebody to go with you.
Snow!
The good silverware's in the dining room.
Take anything, but don't hurt me.
It's me. Stuart.
You. This better be important.
Margalo's still missing.
I should've been more specific.
I meant important to me.
I'm going to look for her. I hoped you'd come.
Look, Stuart, do yourself a favour.
Buy a parakeet and forget her.
I can't forget her.
She's in terrible trouble and I have to help her.
I mean what am I, a man or a...
...mouse?
Is that a trick question?
It's important. You got to help me.
And why would I do that?
Well, because we're family...
...and because I'd do the same for you.
And if you don't, and the Littles ask where I am,
George'll say you ate me.
What?
Why you little rat!
You know something?
Everybody thinks you're so nice.
You're not so nice.
Come on! It’ll be fun. It's an adventure.
Hey! Mario Andretti, slow down.
Let's pace ourselves.
I'll have a heart attack.
I think I'm having a thrombosis
and I don't even know what it means.
George! Stuart! Breakfast!
Get it while it's hot.
Say, "Mama."
Say, "Dada."
Say anything?
'Morning, George.
Where's Stuart?
He already left.
He did? Without eating breakfast?
He had to get to school early...
...because he's in a school play.
Really?
Yes. He plays a mouse.
And they rehearse every morning before school.
Why didn't he tell us?
He forgot.
You know, being worried about Margalo.
Right.
Good. This'll keep his mind off it.
Got to go.
Say, "Oatmeal."
Oh, boy. This is a sign, Stuart.
Like the burning bush.
Except it's a carburetor and I'm not Moses.
But it's telling us something.
Let your people go!
- We're not giving up.
- Oh, why not?
Giving up is fun.
And look at all the time you save.
I'm telling you, if more people gave up,
there'd be fewer wars.
Bill.
George.
Hi, Mum.
Where's Stuart?
He's not home?
Oh, I just remembered.
He told me to tell you that he's rehearsing again.
At Will's house.
And he's sleeping over there tonight.
Sleepover? On a school night?
Hey, that's what he said. Got to go.
Hello?
Hey, Will. It's me, George.
If my mum calls, Stuart's at your house, okay?
Hold on a second.
Hello?
Will, hi. It's Mrs. Little.
May I speak with Stuart, please?
- Stuart?
- You know, my son.
Oh, Stuart. You mean now?
Well, now is when I'm calling.
Oh, he just went in the bathroom.
I think he'll be a while. He brought a magazine.
- Well, then, is your mother there?
- Hold on a second.
- I told her.
- Did she buy it?
Yeah, but now she wants to speak to my mum.
What will I tell her?
Make something up. You're smart.
If I was smart, I wouldn't be in this situation.
She can't come to the phone right now.
She's in the bathroom, too.
But not the same bathroom!
- Just let her know I called. Thanks.
- Okay, Mrs. Little.
- It's all clear.
- I owe you one.
- Now will you tell me what's going on?
- It's too complicated. Later.
Little hi, Little low.
Little hey, Little ho.
- Boys home?
- Well, George is.
But Stuart is rehearsing his play.
Then he's sleeping over at Will's house.
- He's going without George?
- I think it'll give him room to grow.
Oh, Stuart, we've been walking for hours.
I can't take another step.
You know me, I hate to be negative.
But when I walk this much, I chafe.
Also, I hate to bring this up...
...but I need to go tinky.
How about the alley?
I'm a house cat. We're fastidious creatures.
We don't just yell, "Bomb's away!"
And go wherever we are!
Oh, look, let's face it. We'll never find her.
If only we knew someone
who really knew the city.
Yeah, someone who knows
the city's disgusting underbelly.
Who do I know that's disgusting?
Don't threaten me!
What I could tell the health inspector...
...would close you down in a New York minute!
Monty!
Snowbell! What are you doing here?
- We've been looking all over for you.
- We need your help.
Hey, Snow, are you two still friends
or can I eat him?
- No,
